Football (More): From The Dog Who Knew Too Much

They were talking about sports? Sports: maybe the best idea humans ever came up with, in my opinion. Back when we were on the football case, I actually got into a real game! Bernie and I were right on the sideline, on account of we had to stay close to the blackmailer – it’s all coming back to me now, love when that happens – who turned out to be the assistant coach, yes, right on the sideline, close up to the action, when a punt happened, one of those punts down deep, whatever that means, but it’s the expression Bernie uses and he really knows football – played in high school, but dropped it when he went to West Point so he could concentrate on baseball – but forget that part, the point being that on the down deep punt the receiver stays away from the ball in the hope that it goes into the end zone, wherever that is, and meanwhile the other team tries to corral the ball, and footballs bounce in a crazy way, and when I see something crazy like that –

MollyPop’sMom:
(Whispering) Before Rio gets up and reads this, could you send those URLs for Rio begging, and Rio with Pepper. I could use somthing to brighten my day. My SDD is rwdelgado1959@gmail.com

While Rio enjoys spring-like weather, Barb & Maggie will be digging out from under as the storm moves east.
Dawson: All of this is old hat to you, I know.
B: How are you doing in your part of the mitten?

Hi Everybody! Masquers, I’m so glad to hear from you. I guess you still have pwer, and heat. That’s great!
Everything happens in 3s, and I’m sad to report that I am the 3rd injury. My lower back/hip is very painful and I don’t even know how this happened. I’ve always had issues that makes me unable to jump like cats are supposed to. I climb instead. But now i’m in pain just lying still. For no reason at all, I was hissing on Mommy’s lap last night! I’m mortified by that behavior. That is much more T.C.’s M.O. Mommy doesn’t know how to help meso she just carries me everywhere, which I must admit I could get used to.

Quick good morning as Barb is off at work. No snow when she drove in, but it is now coming down pretty fast. They are saying we will get 6-8″ before it is done. It is so cold that it will be a dry fluffy snow.

Buddy. I don’t know much about cat physiology (being a dog myself, although I do try to stay in touch with my feline side), but I have had back/hip problems in the past. Glucosamine is one possibility, although I would think for a guy as small as you, the dose would be a lot less than for someone like me ( Igenerally get 3 pieces of Zuke’s hipaction a day). Also, if it persists, acupuncture is another possible treatment. Works wonders for me. Of course, you do have one advantage that I do not; my mom could not carry me even if she wanted to, as I weigh in around 90 pounds these days (that is actually lower than my top weight, but I have lost some weight this past year as a result of my various treatments). In any event, hope you feel better soon. Your pal Wookie

Rose: Some of the “human” variety can be very cruel. Hopefully Cupid will find a Forever Home very soon.
Dawson: Brrr doesn’t even begin to say it!!!
Sam: Hoping your Aunt Molly’s Mom gets a lot of that snow we just sent eastward.
At the Royal Mum’s request, we sent some her way for tomorrow.

Masquers, my friend, I am always amazed at how humans can be so cruel to each other and especially to children and animals. There is no place in the world for those people. I hope Cupid finds loving humans in a nice forever home. BTW: I would like a bit of snow myself.

Dawson: I bet when you’re snug in that purple quilt, it’s quite hard to get out of bed in sub-zero temps. BRRRRRR for sure!

I’m so po’d after reading about what happened to Cupid! Who would do something like that? I’m glad Mommy makes me stay indoors now. Thank you everyone for your nice thoughts and helpful advice. Mommy told me she ordered those steps to help me climb into bed.

Football!….Another big football weekend coming up all youse sports fans…heh!…Spencer and Admin’s team is still init. If they beat the Ravens they will go to the SuperBowl!…..Wooooo!… So I guess I have to root for the Patriots because Dan the Man, Spencer and The Charming Mr. Abrahams will all be rooting for their team to win…sniff!… I guess I better find out when the game starts so I can put all that good luck I have choosing winning teams to work for them….heh!heh!

Dawson: I always find All Quiet very powerful. It shows both the mental and physical effects of war on the human being. I especially find Paul’s visit home very interesting. He no longer fits in there. He represents the “lost generation”–lost in many ways. My students always liked that novel. It’s too bad its message didn’t sink in…since World War II began just ten years after it was published. Perhaps because Remarque was German as is Paul? To me Paul represents “Everyman.”

Back from the v*e*t’s. Now listening to Etta James. So sorry she’s left us. February is when we become part of the Ultimate Experience!

About Mattie: Unlike our other Newfs, Mattie’s jowls don’t act the same way with her drool. Instead of just drooling, they channel the drool down into her chest. We’ve tried everything to help her out, but nothing worked. (BTW, some breeders say that this is ‘type’ of Newf is a non-drooler. No such thing! We did not breed Mattie and her brother was not like this and none of her children are like this. Weird)

So our new vet (used to work with our old vet, but is 1 hour closer) found some stuff that works. Douxo (Cholorhexidine shampoo hypoallergenic) and a spray Douxo (Chlorhexidine Micro-emulsion spray)

We will start by bathing her with the shampoo 3 times for two weeks and then when the patchy skin begins to heal stop that and go to the spray. Paws and claws crossed.

Barb is fuming at the office. There is a major snow storm going on outside and she told her CL boss she wants to go home early. CL isn’t sure, as the office would be “unmanned” for 1 1/2 hours this afternoon! Snow is coming down 1-2″ per hour. Does she think someone is going to call to look at property in this?

Call the boss, and say, “I am going home now. The roads are bad and I do not feel safe waiting any longer. If you do not wish the office to be closed for an hour and a half, please feel free to use my desk.”

Then pick up your hat and coat, and walk away. No apologies, no looking back. Think Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall, some of the great grande dames of the cinema. Channel them, and try to even put a little sashe in your walk as you go.

Fuming!…It must be going around because my friend says she is fuming today too….grunt!…More like still fuming from last night. The flame has not gone out no matter how many things she does to distract her from fuming…heh!….Glad she is at the busy-place and not here home with me and Beau….chorkel!

Stover, It is the Iditarod Insider…the videos, start and finish of the race, and the GPS Tracker.

Those of you that want to subscribe to one or more parts of the Insider should think about doing it before, say, the last two weeks in Feb. because it is best to do it before the Iditarod people get really busy.

Took T & G’s advice and told her I was leaving at 2:30. She said she didn’t want to be responsible for me if I have an accident, so to go home. Notice she did not say she was worried about my safety. NO, she could give a rat’s a** about my safety. She probably thought about it and wondered if I could sue her for saying I had to stay. She always thinks us city folk will sue!

Rio, I know your friend was mad last night, but did you ever say why? Did I miss that part?

I just found it on youtube by putting Friday Song in the search bar. The one you want to hear is by Rebecca Black. Gah I probably just ruined my reputation for an intelligent search history on youtube.

The Friday Song is a UTube sensation. It was filmed sort of semi-professionallly, at home, paid for by the girl’s parents. She is just a high school kid but that song has made her famous. I actually think it is cute, considering.

Chet is talking about the fact that the Friday Song is filmed mostly in a convertible.

Barb made it home from work, but visability was really poor, snow was deep, and it was hard to see the road. She could have never done it after dark. I don’t know why she worries about that duffus squaking at her!

Chickens are fed and watered, 3 bird feeders are filled, now just have to take tea and crumpets to the goaties and we are done for the evening.

At Last!
My daughter in law thought it took a bit too long for my son to ask her to marry him. She chose At Last by Etta James to play as they walked down the aisle. It was wonderful.
Yippee!
I have the weekend off. At last.

Barb: We are very happy to hear you made it home safely. Tea & crumpets for the goaties…Love it!

B: Thank you for the You-Tube link. We agree with Barb…it is cute, being made by a high schooler and all. However, I don’t know how many times it can be listened to before one starts to lose it. Aawwk! What am I saying. Now the dang thing is running through my head like a broken record. We would much rather listen to Etta James.

Wolfie asked earlier about a Super Bowl Party. Sounds like a plan to me. Lots of food and grog gets my attention every time.

Melanie: I saw that crow video yesterday and wanted to send it to Dan but I’m not techno-savvy enough.
I could not listen to the Friday song either, Felt about that song the way many of you felt about Billie Holiday.

Jasper. Thanks. I definitely need to add that to my collection. I will definitely
ask my fashionista consultant (aka mom) to check it out for me.
Sleet and possibly freezing rain for over night, turning to just rain later tomorrow morning here in Chevy Chase. Yucko. Wookie

Weekend!….Wooooo!….The weekend is finally here after an incredibly stressful and maddening week due to many factors all rolled into one big fat glob….grunt!… My friend says she has made a big decision. She is very Well-Done with trying to help someone Feel or Be or Act or Become or Live or Eat or Do Anything better….snuff!… No amount of Anything will change Anything so Nothing will be offered in the future…..wuffle! heh!…This weekend will be awesome and freeing!… WOOOOO!

Barb!…Glad you came to your senses and went home early…grunt!…My friend has the same damned problem with the weather and this obnoxious feeling that she must go in to the busy-place come hell or high snow no matter what, but in reality that is bull-crap! The way she is feeling tonight she will never work again during a snowstorm. They can all go to hell too!…heh!heh!snort!…So stay home till the roads are clear…gruffle!

Kats!….It’s really nice lately out here on this here blog cuz it seems like all the Kats are missing, sickly or tongue tied…heh!….Except for WeatherKat. He is a Semi-Professional and sticks to his postings…snort! …Those others well, good riddance!…heh!heh!…This is a Kat-Free-Zone for now….wooooooo!

It is made for tv movie airing on Lifetime. It is probably not award caliber, but has special interest here, because Drew Peterson was probably on the news every night for about 2 years. Months after 4th wife went missing, they exhumed the 3rd wife’s body and re-examined it. Then they arrested him for murder. Stacy, his pretty young, naive 4th wife has never been seen again. There is big speculation that he killed her too. He had # 5 on the hook for awhile but she broke the engagement. He is an arrogant cop who thinks he is God’s gift to women. Rob Lowe really has nailed the speech and personality of the creep.

Just got in from work and am taking a quick glance at today’s posts. The Friday song
caught my eye. Just want to let all of you know that it made it into the top 5 U tube
videos of the year. Top 5 worst videos that is. I couldn’t watch it all when I first learned about it. Someone else said something about having enough of teen age girls.
I feel the same way after spending half of my life in a classroom. Much of it with teen age girls.

Kats!…heh!… Yesterday postings do not “count” on today’s blog, just so you know Herbals…huffle!…Buddy was mentioned amongst the “sickly” in my earlier post, the poor bastard…snort!… I actually do hope he gets better no one wants to see anybody suffer in pain not even a Kat…grunt! …Get Well Buddy Boy!…sniff!

Mr.Tibb!…Teenage girls are very unfriendly to us kind of guys…grunt!…We stay well away from them for sure especially on our brutal walks…grunt!…I just want to bite their ankles, but I can tell my friend almost fears for her life if we were to confront one of them, so I refrain…gruffle!

SiberH!…heh!…That’s a good thing, you dork!…snort!…It’s when they look like they want to kick you in the teeth you have to worry!…sniff! …I have enough trouble with my teeth, thank you very much. And Beau, he wants to keep his beautiful white straight teeth too..heh!

Buddy: I hope you are feeling tip top very soon, but I do recommend indulging in being waited on tail and paw by your mom.

I spoke with the good folks at the emergency clinic. Bruised, tenderized, still and slow moving, but not broken! Good thing, too because I hate the brace for my hand. I told it good riddance yesterday and haven’t looked back since (well, maybe once or twice).

Rio: I too am glad it is the weekend. I hope your friend gets to enjoy herself this weekend.

Is there a party in the making for Stinky Mama’s last day at Crazy Lady Land?

Grunt!…Thats not a song…sniff!…Thats not even a good poem…chorkel!…Even if it was, I won’t be hearing any of that in my bed not with Beau in the same room…heh!…All we hear is his non-stop snoring…grunt!…He should be in the Big Book of Records…yup!…Goodnight all!…burp!

Hey!…Rebecca is up!….why?… I wonder why, in disbelief. Rebecca, a party for the Last Day Golinka has to work is a very good idea indeed!…snort!….Too damn bad it will never happen!….grunt!….Goodnight everyone, again…heh!…Beau is actually awake and moving towards the stairs…wooo!

BELLA!!! Good news! Thank the Great and Wonderout Kat that nothing was broken. We think you should curl up in a soft blankie with some catnip mousies nearby and just look beguiling. It always works for us when we are in need of extra care.
As a matter of fact, it sounds so good, we’re headed there now. Good night all!

Basil & Sage: You know how to work the system. I think I will curl up soon, but it’s nice to be out from that damn brace. I have worn my winter boots with fairly good tread all week so as not to have a repeat performance of My Fall From Grace.

Hello C.Harris, It has been so warm here in Minnesota we don’t know what to do when it gets cold. We haven’t been under zero yet this year and I am freezing! Then today we had about 2 or 3 inches of snow and staff says no one has figured out their winter driving protocol yet. Accidents today all over.

Hopefully they will get it all out of their system and drive more carefully from now on. Staff says it was crazy out there today.
